Fooled by the live music?

yipjumpmusic:
Perhaps sometimes yes.

Baalzebub:
I can give you an example where this actually works in reverse.

I saw Combi-christ live at some festival last year and they were just terrible, absoutly terrible. Yet my friend, a couple months later asked me to try and find some of their stuff. Their first album is amazing, when I have nothing else to listen to its one of the first albums i throw on.

Strange Really.

Samgam Gamalan:
i think i'll stay out of the live vs studio debate, but does anyone else notice that some bands are way different from CD to live performance. For instance: one of my fave bands Red Jezebel make cool slow indie-pop that is often acoustic and melancholy, then the live set is all electric guitars and shouting. I'm not saying its 'energy' isn't good it's just...different.

Spencer:
Stereolab are awesome live, but their albums are pretty blah.

Same thing with The Appleseed Cast.

and The Rapture

To play the opposite of that, I really really love Coheed and Cambria, and The Getup Kids studio stuff, but they just dont have it live. I would imagine that The Mars Volta suffers from similar affliction too. That being, they can't hit all those super high notes in concert, and they just end up sounding terrible.
